A Surge Control Valve is a device used to Protect pumps, pumping equipment and pipelines from dangerous pressure surges or waves caused by rapid changes of flow velocity within a pipeline.
When pumping systems are started and stopped gradually, harmful surges do not occur. However, should a power failure take place, the abrupt stopping of the pump can cause dangerous surges in the system which could result in severe equipment damage.
Consequently, control of surges in pumping systems is extremely important.
Cla-Val manufactures a complete line of valves specifically designed for a wide variety of surge control applications.
For basic surge control problems, flowage valve 50 Series Pressure Relief Valve can be used.
